Great write-up. It was a nice reminder, at least as I read it, to always be trying to live our lives by our values and not someone else's. Lately I've been asking myself over and over, "Why am I doing this?" I think waiting too long to ask that question is what leads to mid-life crises.
Also, your friend's quote reminded me of one by a weightlifter named Jerzy Gregorek: “Hard choices; easy life. Easy choices; hard life.”
